--that Ed Flinn keeps dropping by: Unappealing sooty mangabeys at heart of research battle

ATLANTA (AP) — As monkeys go, sooty mangabeys aren't cute.
Big-fanged, gray and hairy, they simply stare when threatened. Few zoos stock them.
Some animal rights advocates can't even spell the species' name. [...]
Well, there's a shock...Anyway, for all of your curiosity regarding unappealing sooty mangabeys...
(And yes, I have done this before, when I noted the similarity between mangabeys and the curious affectation some teen girls exhibit in wearing white eyeliner.)
UPDATE! Lest we neglect to mention it--Happy Birthday, Cheeta!

Other days, she looks startlingly beautiful and my heart aches.
I learned a long time ago to say nothing, regardless.
